Statewide Image Campaign Launched
Cerebral Palsy Associations of New York State (CP of NYS) has kicked off its statewide public relations and image campaign, which will increase awareness of the role CP of NYS and its 24 Affiliates play as a leading resource for services and expertise in issues important to people with disabilities and their families.

New Yorkers with disabilities rely on services, support and advocacy from CP of NYS for assistance in pursuing independent, productive lives. As a statewide organization intimately familiar with the issues affecting people with disabilities, CP of NYS is also in a position to offer expertise and advice on disability issues to policymakers at the legislative and agency levels of state government.

The image campaign is comprised of a series of radio public service announcements and commercials, print advertisements, posters and a multi-media video highlighting the stories of individuals supported and served by CP of NYS and its Affiliates. The campaign materials are designed to emphasize the number of people touched by the organization through the broad range of services provided to New Yorkers both with and without disabilities.
